Mr Excuses - Characters I Have Known!

I'm never wrong, it's not my fault, you don't understand; you've heard these before, haven't you? Excuse after excuse, time and time again; he's always right!  It doesn't matter what you say or what proof you have, he is always, without reservation, completely and absolutely right.

There are many people who have this trait, as part of their makeup.  I can think of lots off the top of my head, but there is one person who encompasses 'Mr Excuses,' in every respect.  He was another one of those people, who wasn't who he seemed.

We met him in the most dubious of circumstances, someone who took complete advantage of  my partner and I. A liar, he was able to turn on the tears at the drop of a hat.   He was a character who always blamed someone else, even though you know the truth; he understood that all too well.  Transparent, completely obvious and see-through, he was a person with no backbone, sense of decency or honour!

Living in a house, with a number of different people can be hard, It is one of the reasons I refuse to do it today, both now or in the future.  Sometimes you feel you have to take part in socialising, when you would rather not. On other occasions you can be forced into doing something you don't want to do.  He looked down his nose at others and believed he was right. What he couldn't do indefinitely was blame others, for his failings, no matter how hard he tried to lie his way out of situations.  As a transparent, unambiguous, unmistakable and unsophisticated liar, his sins would surely find him out!

Being made to feel sorry for someone who in reality is nothing more, than just a good actor, was one of my failings.  Listening to the pouring out of a heart, from a person, who quite frankly was a proven liar, was my fault.  I suppose when you are vulnerable, you are taken for granted much more easily.  I believed him as much as my partner and others, because we had seen him slump and end up a shell of his former self.  We have all had rough times and bad memories to contend with, but if you truly believe others are responsible, you would not go straight back into the Lions Den!

You can not blame other people for everything that goes wrong in your life, when you do nothing to solve your own problems.  Friends supported you in the past, but not any more.  Why would we support someone who  took advantage of our kind nature and far worse? Incidences that I do not want to recall. Why would we ever go out of our way to help a failure, who has just put themselves right back into circumstances that helped to destroy them in the past?  We won't, never will again and will stand tall, saying 'I told you so,' and relish in that phrase!

No more excuses, no more whining, no more lies and justification.  You are the one responsible for your life, no one else can shoulder that responsibility. Accept all your failures, stop the blame game, and I am glad you are no longer in my life.  My life is far better off without you!

Mr Excuses.  Another one to be avoided!
